What is wrong with the design in your link?

Paul

nothing weong with it but it's more a cost issue and portability

You want it free and as small as a real bread board. Please explain just WHAT you want in the breadboard.

Paul

I don't want it free or the sane soze as a standard breadboard
O'm visually impaired and a friend is going to build me a breadboard like the one in the link
but do I really need 30 rows and 10 colums
maybe I only need 5 colums and 15 rows
i.e the person building it has not been through the project book so does not know how many colums and rows I need

I am also visually impaired, in that I can't see your project book from here.

Hello!

From what I recall, the project Knock Lock is the one with the most components and you need 18 rows for that. I think as a minimum you will get away with 20 rows and 8 columns, plus the positive and negative rail like in the link you sent, to complete the project book.

All the best with you Arduino adventure :slight_smile:

Hi, Robyn.
What country are you from?
I'm not sure if your may have what we have here in Australia, volunteer groups who develop technical aids for various disabled people.

They have a range of technically skill volunteers that can probably help.

Hi,
The board that is in the link;

Tom.... :slight_smile:

Thank you

The pictured board is 12 columns and 6 rows (plus 2 for plus and minus.) A board that size would be somewhat limiting, but would accommodate many projects, and be a great learning tool. I have encountered students who had a hard time seeing a breadboard and measurement instruments. Our solution was a lighted 6 inch magnifier on an articulated stand, like this:

After a couple weeks, everybody wanted one.
